Default What are some of the best aftermarket valve springs for the money?

I'm looking for some opinions on what are some of the best valve springs out there. I've heard of a few different companies out there that have good products, but basicly I'm looking for a good set of dual springs that won't break my wallet at the same time. The head is currently an auto b16 head, so stock springs are absolute garbage and this is only for a mild build...it'll probably never get over an ITR or s2s1 sized cam on an 11.5:1 c/r ls/vtec build using mostly oem parts.

Supertech or Rocket are what I would consider to be best for a honda application.
But considering, you're not going above a stage 1 cam, the blox would work out pretty well also.

hmm... i was just coming here to ask this.

i will be going with skunk pro 1's and was curious if the blox is sufficient.
don't see anyone with long term use of them.

i already have skunk retainers. but im about to assemble this and i want to go ahead and get some better springs now instead of being dumb and regretting it later. (running stock to break it in, then putting the skunks in)
